Odoo pricing in Zambia

There are two separate costs and it is worth keeping them apart, because most quotes you will see online blur them together. The first is implementation — the work of configuring Odoo to run your business — and that is what we charge for. Our Core ERP Implementation package is a fixed ZMW 17,200 ($897.00 USD) one-off, covering Sales, Inventory, Purchase, Accounting and Point of Sale, standard Odoo reporting, a basic data migration, and 10 training hours plus 10 implementation hours. CRM is ZMW 13,400 ($697.00 USD), Payroll implementation is ZMW 7,350 ($384.00 USD), and Fiscalization licensing is ZMW 580 ($30.00 USD) per month. The second cost is Odoo software licensing, which you pay directly to Odoo rather than to us. Odoo Enterprise licensing starts from $13.60 per user per month, and the exact number depends on your user count, edition, chosen apps, region and whatever promotion Odoo is running. Odoo Community carries no licence fee at all. Hosting is a third, smaller line — self-hosted or Odoo SaaS, billed separately. So a Zambia business taking Core ERP on the Basic package pays us ZMW 17,200 ($897.00 USD) once, then Odoo directly for licences, then hosting. Nothing else is added without written approval. Local amounts are converted at ZMW 19.17 to the US dollar as at 8 September 2026; quotes and contracts are denominated in USD.

Yes. The Basic package price is fixed and the scope is fixed with it — that is the point of the package. You get proven Odoo configuration across the listed modules, the stated training and implementation hours, and go-live. We do not discover mid-project that the price has moved. What changes the number is you deciding you need something Basic does not cover: custom development, extended or bespoke reporting, custom workflows, Odoo.sh deployment, or a complex migration out of a legacy system with no clean export. Those move the engagement to Custom, and Custom is scoped rather than fixed — we run a discovery session, document your processes and integrations, then quote against the hours actually required. You see the scope and the number before anything is signed. If you run past the Basic hours, additional hours are quoted upfront at our standard rate and no further work continues until you approve them in writing. We price the same way in Zambia as everywhere else we operate; there is no local premium and no local discount.

ZRA's Smart Invoice regime governs how invoices are issued and reported. Our Fiscalization package covers the compliant templates and the upkeep as ZRA revises the requirements. Standard tax configuration — tax codes, per-transaction tax tracking, and reporting that assembles your return from the ledger rather than from a spreadsheet — is part of the Basic Core ERP Implementation at ZMW 17,200 ($897.00 USD). Fiscalization licensing adds ZMW 580 ($30.00 USD) per month, which most Zambia businesses will need. Where Zambia Revenue Authority requires something genuinely bespoke, such as a custom fiscal document template specific to your industry or document flow, that sits in the Custom package and is scoped before it is quoted. We keep the standard compliant templates current as the rules change; that upkeep is what the monthly Fiscalization subscription pays for. It is worth being blunt about one thing: compliance configuration is not the same as tax advice. We build the system to produce what ZRA asks for. Your accountant or tax practitioner still signs off on the returns.

Four things, and we would rather you knew them upfront than discovered them on an invoice. First, Odoo software licensing — paid directly to Odoo, sized by user count, edition and apps. Second, hosting, whether that is your own infrastructure, Odoo SaaS or Odoo.sh. Third, Payroll licensing, which is charged per employee on its own pricing brackets and sits separately from the ZMW 7,350 ($384.00 USD) Payroll implementation fee. Fourth, any ongoing support retainer after the implementation engagement closes — the Basic package covers configuration, the stated hours and go-live, not an open-ended support commitment. Everything inside the package is listed explicitly on our pricing page, and everything marked Custom-only in the matrix is exactly what will push a Zambia project past the Basic price. We would rather quote you accurately and win the work than quote you low and renegotiate at go-live.

A Basic Core ERP Implementation is built around 10 implementation hours and 10 training hours, and most Zambia businesses go live within a few weeks of handing over clean data. The variable is almost never Odoo — it is how quickly your side can supply a usable export of customers, suppliers, products and opening balances, and how quickly your team can sit for training. Where projects slip, it is usually because the legacy data needs cleaning before it can be loaded, which is also the point at which a Basic engagement often becomes a Custom one. Custom engagements are longer by definition, because they include discovery, development and testing cycles, and we give you a timeline alongside the quote rather than a vague range. Our Zambian office is at 1504 Mungulube Road, Northmead, Lusaka. Support runs by phone, WhatsApp, email and video call throughout, and you can reach the team on +260 630 372 410.
